To be certain, you should consult a repair manual specific to your 1997 Dodge Caravan 3.0L. A Chilton's or Haynes manual will have diagrams showing the sensor's location and will aid in identification.
Alternatively, you can:
* Use a visual inspection: Look closely around the thermostat housing on the cylinder head. The sensor is usually a single-wire or two-wire sensor that screws into the engine block or cylinder head. It may have a connector attached.
* Check online forums: Search online forums dedicated to Dodge Caravans or 3.0L engine repair. Someone may have posted a picture of its location on their vehicle.
Remember to be cautious when working near hot engine components. Allow the engine to cool completely before attempting any inspection or repair.
